Birmingham City has refused to comment on reports that a steward involved in an alleged altercation with Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish is expected to be sacked.

The club told BirminghamLive it was not willing to comment until it had decided on a course of action. It previously said it was reviewing "stewarding, safety and security procedures" after Sunday's derby at St Andrew's .

The Daily Mail named a man as being the steward and said he faced the sack. It was unclear whether he was directly employed by the club and a security firm named alongside the man on Twitter referred calls to Blues.

The Mail referred to sources who claimed the man was simply trying to gain his footing on a step during the chaotic scenes after the goal was scored.
